I am trying to find the links to the classic playlists on the Twitter page. Does anyone know where they are? I can not seem to find them. Have they been moved?

I am basically doing what you are doing. I downloaded all of the episodes that were posted over the years and now I'm in 1988. I noticed that the show had a lesser amount of stories going on between 1983-1987 then it suddenly started taking root again. I think it started around the introduction of Nina. Then, Leanna kinda accelerated the growth. Currently, I am on the episodes were Jessica and John Marry. I agree about the pacing. The stories lasted a long time but there was constant movement. A lot was going on. It is War and Peace as opposed to Gone With the Wind. There is a difference between dragging out a story and a long story. He told long stories.

Oddly, he said that quite a bit but I remember him saying in that interview he feels Melodrama is 'dropping bombs' (literal bombs) while his stuff was psychological.

A really long time ago I read an interview, I think here, with Bill Bell. I believe in the interview he mentioned not liking Melodrama. Anyway, does anyone know of such interview? If so, can someone repost it? In any case, I am trying to hunt down as many interviews with him as possible. Thanks in advance.

Honey, if you show an effort of posting that 1977 episode I will post the full script. Yes, that is Erica Kane's first scene (not sure why her name, or Mona's and Nick's, isn't on the cover).

AW was intended to reduce to a half-hour then replace whatever was in the PC timeslot then.

God, I can relate. My biggest -peave is when atwt is mentioned as the 'first' and being on radio. Ive been writing a book on soaps for 10 years, I'm now 26, I can even safely say that the term was coined bc they were used to sell GENERAL products but the serials were of HIGH QULITY. Chit, ealy sponsors only interfered when the quality was bad bc they didnt want to be associated with low-quility writing. So, when I was in history and radio soaps were mentioned I was being told what you were told and I remember acting in a similar fashion. Ot, but was your school participating in the 'history alive' program? I hate it when you find all these tv encyclopedia books which have few, if any, soap references. Of course, until the late 90s, it seems as if soaps were on there own island apart from the rest of tv. Like, tv was the only device which could show them so they had to be on tv.

If I didnt catch that bit of her being on an anti-drug crusade id swear she was on coke.

How many times has Ash had a breakdown? And why?

No, DA's Jill married John and Kay tried to break them up because of there friendship. BD was all ready back by the time Victor and Nikki married the first time.

Ive yet to watch all in while. I do like the B&W feel. I kinda think that when the 'noir' revival came in the mid-70s it would've reverted. The show was like a 'Soap Noir' with a supernatural twist (albiet, later on). I do feel that the show could've conintued by scaling the supernatural stuff for most of the year but then build it during the summer/winter.

Wasn't Lucas and lance a paralell to Lori and Leslie though? Like, one being more sensual than the other?

Maybe NETFLIX is hinting they are bringing back AMC

She also says she preferred the villian...

Jennifer Bassey!

I'm not saying Dynasty 2.0 is going to be an icon and I'm not saying it was the best promo/trailer but that none of you are being fair. Here is a premier promo for Dallas from 1978 and it doesn't show the heart of the show. You guys need to chill out and accept that you only saw a glimpse of what's to come. Here is what I got from the new trailer: They are going to let Stephan be gay and he is witty; Cristal is enigmatic (they seemed to make it clear she isn't a gold digger) and a bit sarcastic; Fallon is determined to be in control but her stepmother is punishing her for being a jerk; The woman aren't only out for a man--they are also career driven; Blake is more down-to-earth and understanding. Perhaps I'm wrong with these observation's as it was, as said, a glimps. What saddens me is that you all, at one time, were far more introspective and patient and intelligent than you guys are now. That is why I preferred SON. All of you have turned into prissy fools who look for conflict. On that note, I'm not sure why I even took time to post this tonight.

Guys, this is just a trailer and stop acting like it's a misguided shot-by-shot remake. It's a reimagining. Also, lets be honest, Linda Evan's Krystal was written like she was misunderstood as a gold digger but she wasn't played like that by the actress. I think they are going for that again but this time forcing embossing the misunderstood persona.

God, this was just the trailer. Give it a chance. I kinda like it LOL.

I finally got around to 3+. I'm at the end of 4. My heart goes out to Ciji! She is so sweet and it kills me the way Chip treats her. Also, I hate that Richard's redemption seemed to have ended so quickly.

Sorry to all. I was being petty because of that commercial.

Uggg. I have such a love/hate with her. The new commercial she's in makes me cringe. So, I'm in 'hate mode' with her. I swear though that her popularity was completely manufactured, or at least 75% of it was, because she has the same appeal as Robin Strasser, Sharon Gabet, or Eileen Fulton.

I was about to ask so many questions like 'How does she bring in more ratings than the show' Or, what does that actually mean? But then I went 'Nah.'

Yeah. I thought bestiality was illegal.

n the paper today, I read that the actress who plays Liza will be leaving AMC to be on a brand new soap on NBC. Boy, first Jenny, now Liza. My suspicion that Tony and Liza might hit it off is shot. My NEW theory is that Tony will kill Liza, thinking it was Jenny, and that Jenny will still go to N.Y. In addition, we`re going to get a new Nina. The actress who plays her (sorry I`m bad on real names) is leaving the show. Rather than kill HER off, she will be replaced. Lastly, according to the paper, we`ll find out Friday what really is in the West Wing of the Chandler mansion. Tom O`Connor
